There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

Not intentional ;)

Thanks for the heads up, will work at getting the styling there right.

What's odd is that HH's post is fine.

I'm an asshole, and I approve this message

Ah, I see what's going on... Tag issues again.

Basically, the OP post looks like this [.li][.li][.li]

There are two problems with that... First, we highly encourage closing ALL tags. So when you make an [.li] tag, for example - make sure to close off each [.li] to look like this. [.li]text[./li][.li]text[./li]

But most importantly, using list items without specifying a list, is incomplete HTML and that is causing it to break.

When you plan on using list items ([.li])

You NEED to put them within a list type, in the case of the forums, within an unordered list.

So where the OP looks like this.

Quote

[.li]Text[.li]text[.li]text

What it should look like is this:

Quote

[.ul][.li]Text[./li] [.li]Text[./li][./ul]

Users should note the [.ul] and [./ul] that must be placed between any [.li] tags :)

OP: Once you edit your post to reflect like above, it should be sorted :)

Most people don't understand html commands, and aren't going to be able to follow those rules.

The posters might do better just doing a simple cut-and-paste using a dot symbol from Word.
To get those from Word, click "insert", "symbol", and then select what you want.
Copy the dot from Word to a text file. Then copy the dot from the text file to here.
Save that text file for future reference.
